What Is a Diamond Track Saw?
Track saw cuts through concrete, masonry, blockwork, and other durable materials. It uses a diamond blade saw mounted on a track. The track attaches directly to the wall or floor. The diamond blade saw then moves back and forth along it until the cut is done.
The track saw is fully guided, unlike a handheld saw or a floor-mounted saw. In this way, every cut will be straight, accurate, and repeatable. The blade will not drift down or cause damage to the material surrounding it.
Precision track sawing has many applications. The process involves making openings for doors, windows, vents, and staircases. It can also remove whole parts of a concrete structure. This is done when selective demolition is needed instead of a full knockdown.
Track saws can cut up to 750mm deep. This makes them suitable for thick reinforced concrete walls and floors. They work equally well indoors and outdoors, and on steep inclines or vertical surfaces where floor saws cannot be used.
Key Benefits of Track Sawing
Choosing CA Drillers for professional diamond track sawing has many benefits on-site:
- With the track-guided system, you can always achieve sharp, clean edges without operator error.
- Low noise and minimal dust make it suitable for busy or delicate places like hospitals, offices, and heritage buildings.
- Clean cuts mean less patching, finishing, or structural repair after the job is completed.
- The product can be used on both vertical and horizontal surfaces, including steep and inclined surfaces.
- Remote-operated equipment: The operator does not need to be close to the blade, reducing on-site safety risks.
- Lightweight and compact, track saw systems can be set up in confined or restricted spaces where larger machinery cannot operate.
- Cuts reinforced concrete: Diamond blades handle rebar, aggregate, and difficult masonry without difficulty.
- Versatile applications: one system covers many jobs. It works for small window openings and big structural removals.
Track sawing offers many benefits, making it one of the most practical and cost-effective methods of cutting concrete.
How Our Track Sawing Process Works - 5 Simple Steps
We keep the process straightforward so your project stays on track from start to finish.
1
Site Assessment
We visited the site to determine the project scope. As part of the assessment process, they will check for embedded services, assess the material and thickness, and determine which technique is most appropriate. We identify the safest and most efficient cutting method before work begins.
2
Risk Assessment & Method Statement
Before mobilising to the site, we prepared a full RAMS (Risk Assessment and Method Statement) in line with your project requirements. Our documentation meets the standards expected by the main contractor and principal designer.
3
Track Setup & Blade Selection
Our engineers fix the track securely to the cutting surface. We select the correct diamond track saw blade types for the material, whether it is standard reinforced concrete, high-strength structural concrete, masonry, or blockwork. When it comes to speed, quality, and blade life, the right blade makes all the difference.
4
Precision Cutting
The diamond saw moves along the track steadily, controlled. Cutting is carried out to the exact dimensions required, with water suppression controlling dust and cooling the blades. For very thick sections, we make multiple passes to reach the required depth.
5
Removal & Site Clearance
Our team safely supports and removes the cut section after the cut is complete. To prevent personnel or equipment risk, cores and sections are held in place or supported from below. Our team clears the area and prepares the site for the next phase of your project.
Technical specifications
Our precision track sawing equipment is maintained to a high standard and capable of handling demanding specifications across all project types.
- Maximum cutting depth: up to 750mm in a single pass or multiple passes
- Materials: reinforced concrete, post-tensioned concrete, masonry, blockwork, bricks, and composite materials
- Track saw system applications: openings for doors, windows, vents, and staircases; slab removal; wall panel removal; structural alterations; and civil and infrastructure cutting.
- Diamond track saw blade types: soft bond, hard bond, and universal blades selected to match aggregate and concrete hardness.
- Operation: remote or manual, with water cooling and dust suppression
- Indoor and outdoor use: suitable for all environments, including live buildings and infrastructure sites

Frequently Asked Questions About Floor Sawing
What is a track saw used for?
Track sawing is used to cut openings in concrete walls, floors, and slabs, for doors, windows, vents, staircases, and structural alterations. It is also used in demolition work where only part of a structure needs to be removed.
How deep can a track saw cut?
Our track saw systems can cut up to 750mm in depth, making them suitable for thick reinforced concrete walls and floors. For very deep cuts, we use a multi-pass approach to reach the required depth cleanly.
Is track sawing suitable for reinforced concrete?
Yes. Diamond track saw blades cut through reinforced concrete, including sections with steel rebar and dense aggregate. We select the correct blade specification based on the material to ensure clean, efficient cutting.
Can track sawing be done in occupied buildings?
Yes. Track sawing produces significantly less noise, dust, and vibration than alternative methods. It is regularly used in occupied commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and heritage structures where disruption must be kept to a minimum.
